YoukaiSlayer 01/10/20 2:32:30 AM #99:	Well that was a tedious nightmare. Iceborne just launched on PC and it may be the worst japanese launch yet. I guess Nier:A was worse. For whatever incomprehensible reason, old save files are not compatible with iceborne so if you haven't played and saved the game in the last several months, your save is effectively gone. I had not played in over a year. Fortunately, I made back ups cause I expect incompetence with japanese devs+PC even though it was delayed months behind console so they could make work well. Lol, what a fucking waste of time that was. I had to use a save editing tool and someone else's recent save to drag my character over to the new file in slot 2 (presumably the game can read slot 1's data and thats how it get's to the menu), mod the new file to have my steam ID, then load it up and fix several issues in game. That took hours to figure out and thank god that save editing tool existed. Then, I get in game and it looks awful. Not like kinda bad, but like, clearly there is some kind of problem bad. So I look that up and the fix is at least fairly easy. Set graphics to minimum, save, exit game, reload game, change graphics settings back. Fortunately I didn't use any mods because that also breaks your game. There's no error message for it either, it just hangs when loading your character image. And of course, the cherry on top is the completely expected radio silence from capcom. Are they aware of the issues? Will they fix them soon? Are they laughing maniacally at PC users that they seem to hate with a passion? Who the fuck knows cause we haven't heard a word. The forums are on fire and it's a complete shitshow. Why are lone modders with 2 days time more capable than entire teams of japanese PC porting devs with like an entire year of time? And it's not like this is an isolated indecent, it's the fucking norm. I'm so sick of this shit. At least in the end I and my friend were able to fix our saves and get the game to run well enough for now. Way to completely annihilate my hype though by forcing me to troubleshoot issues for like 5 hours. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:932715410] in Anime, Man...
